Cold In Berlin take no prisoners. Their post-punk meets Seattle grunge sound (imagine Siouxsie & the Banshees in a face-off with Hole) is a full-on earbashing but the scars are soothed by the melodies. ‘White Horse’ is the best song on their Give me Walls album, its sneering and aggressive lyrics balanced by a memorable, killer chorus which is spat out like bullets. The other tracks on the EP are remixes, including the ‘White Horse’ Witch House remix by The Heretics (though the slabs of synths are almost disco) and producer Pete Baker’s banging efforts on ‘If You Take Me Apart’ that sounds like an ecstatic Chemical Brothers.
